Once the Brits discover ESPN Zone, they'll love it (sadly). There are some great games in ESPN Zone and good food too.
For the Brits that don't know what it is - imagine a large bar restaurant (call it Sky Sports Bar) showing all the premiership games, rugby, cricket and F1 all at the same time - instead as this is the US, it's American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey, and Indy Car Racing. A place where you can decide what you want to watch at your table, or a main game on a film screen, and even in the toilets, and occassionally Des Lynham or Gary Liniker will come in and do a live TV show. Mix in a floor with a load of sports video games and a climbing wall - Fifa, racing etc. and mix in some good food and larger, and you would have a uk equivelent.
Personally, I would rather go to Disneyquest - I can easily spend a good 6 - 8 hours in there!

I hope Disney doesn't close it. I havn't seen it yet and it holds such great potential. If they do, I hope they at least put some of the more popular games in the Tommorowland arcade. That'd ROCK!
Better yet, there's a lot of space in Tomorrowland. They should put them there

I'm a brit and I knew what ESPN was 
maybe I know too much about the US? XDDDD
In any case, why does this topic keep getting bumped? We found out AGES AGO this rumor was anything but true.

Ah but remember, to a lot of Americans, WDW may be a 3 day jaunt that they visit often and want to take in a big game. It's not my cup of tea either, but there is definately a market. The ESPN Zones I've been to at DL, Chicago and Fla are always heaving. BTW - I've been during baseball season for novelty value (and good food).

When was this? It's wonderful news if so!

Heading for the great escape.
This will cause a major problem for parents looking to dump their kids somewhere they can run wild for a few hours

They need to keep Disney Quest and add the ESPN Zone. The kids get dumped at DQ, dad goes to ESPN Zone, and mom goes shopping at the Marketplace. Everyone's happy.

It's DisneyWorld, you COULD "dump" your child basically ANYWHERE :wave: (if you were so inclined :lol: )

I have only been to Disney Quest once (on our last trip). Some friends of ours had told us about it several years ago, but until our last trip our kids were too young to enjoy it so we never went. I have to admit that without our friends telling us we would have never known it was there. Obviously marking DQ wasn't a priority for WDW. That said, DQ is absolutely awesome. I would be very saddened if it did indeed close.
Understand that I am a HUGE sports fan, and have even been to the ESPN club on the boardwalk (and hated it), and will probably never go into another ESPN club in my life. This coming from a sports fan, but I just didn't like the atmosphere at the ESPN club. Of course everything being so loud that I had a headache after being there for 5 minutes probably had something to do with it.
Jedimaster, where are you getting this info. I am able to find is that DQ is closing sometime in '08.

I dont think its closing a cm told me that Jim Hill made a article about it closing soon and a good number of cms quit the next day and it turned out to be false.. But seriously I love Disney Quest I dont think they should get rid of it. It had a good number of ppl in there last time I was in there (which was in June 2006). One more thing isn't this thread a little old..?

Plenty of sources, too many to list, all in confidence, but if you look hard enough around this forum, you can see some of my previous mentions about my various sources...

I doubt he'll be able to disclose his sources, but I can attest that he has been reliable in the past.

All I can say is this...
I'd really like to know just if it's happening or not. That way I can get a few more runs on Alien Encounter: Inavsion, and Pirates.
